Venture Capital
After years of working within the local venture capital community we
know what makes it tick. We will work with you to gain understanding of what is
required to engage with this important source of growth capital and we will
ensure that your business is positioned and pitched appropriately. Services can
range from critique of business plans and assistance with positioning, through
to financial modelling or full business plan construction. Whatever the level
of engagement, we will work closely with you to help prepare your company for
investment. We will be happy to discuss our terms of engagement and various
commercial models.
Corporate Finance
With extensive networks in the funding communities within the North West
and further afield, we will be happy to discuss how we can help with your fund
raising activities. Since launching in 2013, we have worked with clients to
raise sums ranging from £20k to £5m from a range of sources including regional
funds (loan and VC), business angels and regional grant money. Please contact us to discuss our commercial
arrangements.
Business Strategy
With years of experience working with start-up and early stage
businesses, we have first-hand experience of what works and what doesn’t with
regards to business models and commercial relationships. With a specific
expertise in the digital and creative sector, but with an expanding portfolio
of sector work, we will work with you to understand the various options for
consideration and devise an optimum route forwards
Financial Control
Tilston Ventures can provide bespoke financial support according to your
business needs. We can provide part-time FD support as required - specialist
input when you don’t need a full-time FD but do require more than general
accountancy or book-keeping input. Please contact us to discuss your
requirements to see how we can assist.
Business Planning
With extensive experience of the local venture capital arena, we have
seen what works and what doesn’t when it comes to fundable business plans. We
will apply this knowledge to work with you to shape and produce a business plan
suitable for presentation to potential funders – and if you need help with
introductions, we can do that too.
Financial Modelling
Businesses are often comfortable with crafting the words to their
business plans but lack either the expertise or the time to perform the
financial modelling. As chartered accountants and with experience of the
venture capital arena, we can help with the financial modelling needed to
establish your funding requirements. These model can then be used within a
suitable business plan for fund raising.
Start-ups
We have a passion for start-ups and
understand the drive and commitment required to launch and grow successfully.
However, we also understand that successful growth can only be built on firm
foundations. We will work with early stage entrepreneurs to ensure that solid
foundations are in place and that all bases are covered, so that when growth
starts, it can be sustained.
